Mr, H. B. Fanruam, B.Sc., F.Z.S., exhibited and made remarks 
upon microscopic slides of Lankesterella tritonis, a Hemogregarine 
parasitic in the blood-corpuscles of a Newt, Viton cristatus. 
This parasite was recently found by Mr, A. 8. Hirst, F.Z.S., and 
the exhibitor, and their observations had since been independently 
confirmed by Dr. A. C, Stevenson. 
Mr, F. EK. Bepparp, F.R.S., read a paper entitled “ A Contri- 
bution to the Knowledge of the Encephalic Arterial System in 
Sauropsida,” 
Sir Harry Jounsron, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., read a paper con- 
taining criticisms of the Hon. Walter Rothschild’s proposed 
classification of the Anthropoid Apes. He was disposed to agree 
with Mr. Rothschild’s classification of the African Apes, but 
suggested that the proper transcription of the native name for 
the Bald Chimpanzee should be nkulunkwmba-instead of (as 
Du Chaillu wrote it) koolookamba. Sir Harry, however, could 
not agree with Mr. Rothschild’s proposed change of the generic 
name of the Orang from Simia to Pongo; and although con- 
sidering him right in applying the former name, at present used 
for the Orang, to the Chimpanzees, he was of opinion that either 
Satyrus or Pithecus was a far preferable name to Pongo for the 
Orang. He concluded the paper with a list of words used in 
several African languages for the name of the Chimpanzee, and 
with a précis of the history of European knowledge of the 
Anthropoid Apes down to the Eighteenth Century. 
Mr. Knup ANDERSEN contributed a paper on some ‘species of 
Bats of the genus Rhinolophus, in the course of which he showed 
the progressive evolution from the Austro-Malayan 2. simplex 
(allied to megaphyllus), through a long series of Oriental forms, 
to the W. Palearctic &. ferrwm-equinum, and a similar chain from 
the Oriental 2. lepidus (allied to minor) to the W. Palearctic 
Lh. blasti and R. euryale. RK. hipposiderus was traced back to the 
Oriental A. minor. <A slight difference between the British 
colony of &. hipposiderus and the Central European form of the 
same species was pointed out. All the Ethiopian species of 
Rhinolophus were shown to be of Oriental origin. 
A paper was read from Dr. EK. Bercrorn, C.M.Z.8., containing 
the results of his observations on the stridulating-organs and 
descriptions of five new species (two of which were referred to 
new genera) of the Hemipterous family /alyine. 
Dr. P. Catmers Mircneny, Secretary to the Society, read a 
° 2 . . . 3 . . d . 
paper entitled “On the Anatomy of Limicoline Birds, with 
special reterence to the Correlation of Modifications.” The paper 
dealt with the anatomy, chiefly muscular, of Charadriide, Chioni- 
dide, Glareolide, Thinocoride, @dicnemide, and Parride,
